$$What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this river flood warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS St. Louis, MO wrote its last area forecast discussion before this river flood warning went out at Dec 27, 2:06 AM CST, 10 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Dec 27, 2:06 AM CST, 10 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ST LOUIS MO
206 AM CST SUN DEC 27 2015
.SHORT TERM: (Through Late This Afternoon)
Issued at 201 AM CST Sun Dec 27 2015
First phase of this event is starting to come to an end with the
heaviest rainfall rates associated with convection moving south of
the CWA. Rain will continue today along and south of I-70 but
rainfall rates will be lower than the last 24 hours. Currently
have about another half inch to inch of rain forecast along and
south of I-70 today with lighter amounts to the north. Will
likely be converting the flash flood warnings to areal flood
warnings to account for ongoing road closures and rising creeks,
streams and rivers. In total rainfall amounts have ranged from 3
to 6 inches in a 50 mile wide swath centered along a line from
Springfield, Missouri through the western St. Louis Metro to
Litchfield, Illinois. The rainfall tapers to around an inch to our
southern CWA and half inch across far northeast Missouri. Flash
flooding was widespread within the 50 mile wide swath with
numerous road closures and water rescues reported yesterday and
overnight.
CVKING
.LONG TERM: (Tonight through Saturday)
Issued at 201 AM CST Sun Dec 27 2015
...ADDITIONAL FLASH FLOODING LIKELY TONIGHT AND MONDAY MORNING...
Second wave of heavy rainfall will take shape tonight and Monday
morning as the deep occluding stacked low pressure system
approaches and lifts overhead. Have conservatively forecast
another 1.5 to 2.0 inches of rainfall from this evening through
Monday afternoon. Convection could lead to locally higher amounts.
This second wave will certainly renew the flash flooding threat
and will therefore keep the Flash Flood Watch in place with this
forecast package. By the time all is said and done expect that 50
mile wide corridor to have somewhere on the order of 6 to 9 inches
of rainfall with amounts tapering off north to 2 inches and south
to 4 inches in the CWA.
...MAJOR AND IN SOME CASES HISTORIC RIVER FLOODING EXPECTED...
This amount of rainfall, largely becoming runoff, will send most of
our rivers into moderate to major flood. A few may set all time
historic crests. Please refer to the NWS AHPS page for the latest
river stages and forecasts:
http://water.weather.gov/ahps2/index.php?wfo-LSX
With the low pressure lifting along the western periphery of the
CWA, through central Missouri, cannot justify any measurable ice or
snow in the CWA. Perhaps we could see a few flurries or snow showers
as the system pulls north into the Great Lakes Monday night, but
again - the message and clear weather story remains the short term
flash flooding threat through Monday afternoon and then the major
and in some cases historic flooding that will be occurring along the
rivers in the CWA.
After a relatively quiet day on Tuesday, another strong shortwave
digs into the Central Plains for midweek. The core of the system and
dynamics look to remain northwest of the CWA, so have only forecast
slight chance PoPs for some light snow on Wednesday.
Cold high pressure dominates the remainder of the forecast with
typical temperatures for the end of December and first days of the
New Year.
CVKING
&&
.AVIATION: (For the 00z TAFs through 00z Sunday Evening)
Issued at 545 PM CST Sat Dec 26 2015
Strong low pressure system will move from Texas to central MO by
midday Monday. Frontal boundary will waver from eastern to central
mo as the low moves north northeast. Exact position will be
tricky, thus the rain forecast as well. Radar shows a southern
edge lifting north, currently has reached southern
Washnington/northern St. Francois counties in MO and northern
Randolph county in IL. HRRR shows this northward movement but
stops it by 04z and then pushed the rain shield back south with a
strong north wind. If this happens, the thunder chances should go
away by 05/06z. Regardless, IFR ceilings and rain should continue
well into Sunday evening.
Specifics for KSTL: Will keep IFR ceilings rain going into Sunday.
Will have to keep an eye on the southern edge of the rain. It is
forecast to halt and move back south before it gets to STL.
Confidence is not overwhelming at this time so foreast may be
nmore of a nowcast tonight.
